No commercial gain may be sought by websites offering digital files of my music, whether through advertising, exploiting databases compiled from their traffic, or any other means.
All participants in such digital exchange acknowledge and respect the copyrights of the performers, writers and publishers of the music.
This notice should be clearly posted on all sites engaged in this activity.
I reserve the ability to withdraw my sanction of non-commercial digital music should circumstances arise that compromise my ability to protect and steward the integrity of my work.
On January 22, 2006 Carl gave his permission for archive.org:
To whom it may concern,
I am an amateur musician and a student of music. I have been moved
and inspired by those artists who have dedicated their entire lives
to the cause of creating music and making it accessible to those that
need it. As an amateur musician, there is no pressing need for me to
limit the distribution of my music. I wish to make it as accessible
as possible and it is obvious that those wonderful people at
archive.org are most capable of doing just that. I deeply appreciate
their dedication and commitment to facilitate the distribution of
wonderful music. At this time, the only restriction that I wish to
put on my music is that it is respected as the property of said
artist. I certainly don't want to hear one of my own songs played by
a different artist on the radio sometime in the distant, distant
future. If there are those that for some reason want to publicly
perform any of my songs, an e-mail asking permission will be more
than sufficient.
For those at archive.org, I am the sole proprietor, besides those
songs that I am covering, of the concerts that I upload and I wish
for them to be made accessible on the Live Music Archive under the
performer "Carl Johnson". My band abbreviation is "ccj".
